20 Gauge #5 Shot Copper-Plated Lead Shotgun Ammo

Copper-plated lead #5 Shot is the defining load here, with every option chambered in 20 gauge for upland hunting or turkey hunting. The main choice is payload: the range commonly uses 1-1/4 oz, while lighter 1 oz and heavier 1-5/16 oz loads provide different shot weights; plastic casings are typical, with brass appearing less often. Winchester X20PH5 20 gauge shells pair 1 oz with a 2.75" shell for upland hunting and copper coating, while Federal P2585 20 Gauge #5 Shot and Winchester Super Pheasant Magnum 20GA use 1-1/4 oz in 3" shells for upland hunting, with the Federal using a plastic casing and the Winchester featuring copper coating; Winchester Long Beard XR 20GA #5 Shot also uses 1-1/4 oz in a 3" shell, but is intended for turkey hunting and has copper coating. The Winchester X20PH5 is built with high brass magnum for long-distance magnum performance, the Federal P2585 uses a 3-inch shell and 1 1/4 oz or 547 grains of shot, the Super Pheasant Magnum has a velocity of 1250, and Long Beard XR has the knockdown power of popular heavier-than-lead loads at a fraction of the cost.
